1.  I haven't been really paying attention to how many chickens we have.

2.  Well we have about Many hens, Many pullets, Many cockerels, and Many chicks.

1.  P-Math eases the job, see 2. D ma'am.

2.  Number of future chicken dinners precised, see D ma'am.

Struggling to know how to explain this strangeness to strangers.

Reconstruct education as Ontarklar has suggested, si F&J ma'am.

Get letter from past employer in which education is mentioned, si F&J ma'am.

 

If inadequate, go over the heads of prospective company's Subhuman Resources department to a manager with authority to override bureacracy, si F&J ma'am.

How did I not know until today how aggressive of a procedure declawing a cat is? Our cats had gotten declawed and I don't recall the vet mentioning it.

Procedure is highly tempting, save furniture ma'am.

However, disruptive to cat, disfigured miu man.

Learn to give frequent manicures, 2-person job around here man.

disemboweled cat

Dead mouse nearby

Suspicious feather

what it was

Mouse eyed first by cat and then by owl, poor overmatched miu man.

This is why we risk going aysheep when Mrs. T-B. doesn't know where cat is, soft & juicy miu man.

We found miu outside when we arrived at casa, sloppy on-foot garage-door exit again by Mrs. T-B./Mini-B. man.

We re-entered miu, good cat-daddy we man.

When Mrs. T-B./Mini-B. returned through garage door, miu got out again, sloppy closures man.

Many (2+1) -- yes, MANY (2+1) -- doors had to be left open for latter to happen,  and man.

Personally I would not do the GED. You did go to school and complete school. Make your own transcripts as a homeschool student as accurate as you can remember. As a mother who homeschooled 4 kids two have already graduated from University and 1 still going and still homeschooling my youngest 2 . A homeschool transcript and diploma are looked at much better than a GED. Michigan has a decent homeschool population they should be more familiar with that. 

Thanks, Ontarkie. I'm looking in to this. I did explain in my application and at the interview but I guess they want it in a format they are familiar with.

Why would any employer at your age care about high school? I haven't ever been asked about that. 

My thoughts exactly.

Feel like l'm reconstructing my whole life, TBone.

I'm beginning to feel I'm too old for this immigration phooey.

Beginning to feel that immigration is for the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. 

Immigrating has made me most definitely less squirrel-like and more grumpy bear-like. 

Immigrating has made me Subhuman.

What did you do when you first got work here?

Perhaps I can get a job as a bag-packer or shelf-stacker at a store.

3- you made yourself that, not immigration.
